Sea freight is the backbone of our service. We book with major carriers and NVOCCs on weekly sailings and receive your cargo with our own team at the Saudi port.
FCL — full container20', 40', 40'HC, reefer and open-top. Door-to-door or port-to-port.
LCL — shared containerSmall volumes consolidated at origin, delivered per CBM.
Project & break-bulkMachinery, out-of-gauge and heavy-lift cargo.
Door-to-door from China (incl. Saudi customs and delivery): typically 40–65 days LCL, 35–50 days full container. Sailing times above are port to port, indicative, and depend on carrier schedule and transshipment.
When time matters more than freight cost, we fly your cargo to King Khalid (Riyadh), King Abdulaziz (Jeddah) or King Fahd (Dammam) airports and clear it the same day where possible.
Express airDoor-to-door in 3–6 days for urgent spares, samples and documents.
Consolidated airLower cost per kg for regular shipments, 6–10 days door-to-door.
Charter & oversizeFor project cargo and emergency restocking.

Airport customs clearance in Saudi Arabia and delivery to your door
Cargo held at a Saudi port for a missing certificate costs demurrage every day. We prepare the paperwork before the vessel sails, so clearance is a formality rather than a problem.
Certification we arrange
SABER / SALEEMProduct Certificate of Conformity (PCoC) and Shipment Certificate (SCoC) via approved bodies.
SASO technical regulationsElectrical, toys, building materials, textiles and more.
SFDARegistration and clearance for food, cosmetics, medical devices and pharma.
Ministry approvalsMoC, MoI, MEWA, MoH, CITC/CST and other authority permits where required.
Halal & health certificatesOrigin certificates, halal, phytosanitary and fumigation documents.
Our trucks and partner fleets collect cleared cargo at the port and deliver it to your warehouse with a signed proof of delivery — the same day in the Eastern Province and Jeddah, next day for most other cities.

Saif Logistics is the freight, sourcing and clearance division of two Saudi establishments: Saif Ahmed Hassan Al-Ali Trading Est. in Dammam and Saiv Ahmed Alali Company in Jeddah — the Kingdom's two main import gateways.
We began by moving goods from China to Saudi Arabia for our own trading businesses. Managing every stage ourselves — finding factories, inspecting, certifying, shipping, clearing and delivering — taught us where importers lose time and money. Today we offer that same end-to-end control to customers across Saudi Arabia, the GCC and Iraq.
What makes us different
Importer's mindsetWe import for ourselves, so we quote what the goods actually cost to land, not just the freight.
Certification firstSABER and ministry approvals are built into every shipment plan from day one.
Ten sourcing marketsFrom China and Southeast Asia to Pakistan, India, Turkey, Egypt and Europe.
Saudi presenceOur own people at Dammam and Jeddah ports, not a call centre abroad.
